Notes:
(1) Pump suction line diameters should normally not be more than two (2)
standard line sizes larger than the pump suction nozzle. Exceptions to this
rule should be approved by the respective chief engineer.
(2) Or as required by system pressure balance. Sour water line maximum velocity
may be lower depending upon temperature and metallurgy.
(4) If the liquid velocity is too high, swaged-up meter runs may be required.
Velocities for lines containing orifice plates should be limited to the following
values:
except
(5) Critical pump suction pressures should be checked using isometrics at the
earliest opportunity.
